6 5 Finding the right treatment for adolescents. If you or someone you care for is experiencing difficulties due to their alcohol and/or other drug use, here are some questions to consider when selecting a service or treatment program: Does the provider or program accept your health insurance? If not, will they work with you on a payment plan, have a sliding scale, or find other means of payment for you? Is the program state licensed, and are staff licensed professionals trained in addiction treatment? Does the program offer a full range of services needed to support an individuals recovery process, including help for substance abuse and mental health problems if applicable? Does the program provide treatment services that are appropriate and sensitive to age, gender, race, sexual orientation, culture, and physical abilities? Will there be ongoing assessment of an individual's treatment plan to ensure that it meets their changing needs? Are services or referrals offered to family members to support their understanding of addiction and the recovery process? How does it help guide them in supporting the recovering individual? Is aftercare support and referral encouraged and provided? Call Central Intake and Care Coordination , or toll free at TTY: to find the right treatment program. Finding The Right Treatment

7 6 Getting information on health insurance. My Health Care Options, the Massachusetts Quality and Cost website, is designed to be easy to use and understand and is intended to provide accurate and up-to-date information for consumers. This information comes from state and federal databases as well as other independent sources. The MassHealth program provides comprehensive health insurance - or help in paying for private health insurance - to more than one million Massachusetts children, families, seniors, and people with disabilities The Health Connector has information on subsidized and affordable health insurance plans for income eligible MA residents.

The site offers resources such as a consumer helpline and other information on health coverage in Massachusetts. Getting Information On Health Insurance

18 17 Youth Stabilization and Detoxification Units The Bureau of Substance Abuse Services (BSAS) in seeking to create an effective and responsive continuum of substance abuse treatment services for adolescents, as well as to meet a growing demand for acute care, created in 2007 the first state-funded youth stabilization and detoxification unit in Massachusetts. These units provide youth in crisis with a safe, temporary, protective environment in which they can receive the care, supervision, assessment, and medical monitoring necessary to facilitate stabilization of their physical and emotional states. Once stabilized, youth receive a comprehensive biopsycho-social assessment of their substance use, social, emotional, behavioral, and mental health needs. With this information, staff can develop appropriate aftercare resources and referrals for adolescents and their family. The youth stabilization and detoxification services are for males and females between the ages of 13 and 17. Their length of stay is determined on their individual assessment and treatment planning needs, (an average stay is 14 days). Insurance may cover the cost of these services. Youth Stabilization and Detoxification Units

20 19 Youth Residential Treatment Programs Residential substance abuse treatment is appropriate for youth experiencing health, emotional/behavioral, family, developmental and/or social problems as a result of alcohol and other drug use, and whose issues have not been resolved in less intense, community-based levels of care. There are currently five gender-specific residential programs (three male and two female programs). These are short-term substance abuse treatment services for medically stable youth. Four of the programs serve youth between the ages of 13 and 17, with one program serving female young adults. A youths length of stay (up to 90 days) in the program varies based on their treatment needs. Pegasus House Lawrence, MA Youth Residential Treatment Programs

22 21 Youth Residential Treatment Programs (Continued) The youth residential programs are funded by the Bureau of Substance Abuse Services and a sliding-scale client cost-share policy. At intake, the program will review the sliding scale with families, and if a family can contribute to the cost of treatment they are asked to, however cost should not be a barrier for youth in receiving treatment. Every effort is made to see that youth are served within their communities, as appropriate. However, programs will accept youth from across the state and will coordinate and provide transportation as needed. Programs are located in: Danvers (males), Boston (males), Springfield (males), Lawrence (females), and Worcester (females).

The concept of recovery high schools originated in Minnesota in 1989, as a response to the high rates of relapse among adolescents who returned from a treatment experience to a traditional high school. The Massachusetts schools are located in Boston, Beverly, and Springfield. They have the capacity to serve approximately students each, and each of the schools utilizes a slightly different operational model. The schools provide a comprehensive academic curriculum that is consistent with Massachusetts State Standards, MCAS testing protocols, and course requirements of the students school district.
